RE: Terminal emulation over spotty network connection...

Josh,

You were right about the "straightforward" thing. I'm not a web/PC
programmer. You lost me at "servlet".

I might run this by some of my fellas here in the department.

Thanks.

A thought that I've had in this vein is to put TN5250j inside of a
servlet and use a session id cookie to serve the correct session to a
web client (your tablet pcs). This way the web server would maintain
state with the System I and the clients could pop in and out of
connectivity and maintain the same emulator view.

I think the heavy lifting has been done for both pieces of this
solution, and the combination should be a fairly straightforward matter
(someone else suggesting that something is straightforward for YOU to do
on a forum should make you run screaming). Please let me know if you
try this and it works.

Josh

Hello all,

I've searched for information about this and I haven't come up with
much.

I have a situation where user are roaming with tablet PCs and a WiFi
connection.

We are using iSeries Access green screen emulation.

When the users are moving around, they will occasionally lose the
network connection when they go from one WiFi zone to another.

How can I set up the emulation sessions so that they don't drop?

I know about QDEVRCYACN and QDSCJOBITV. But tweaking them still seems
to present an unacceptable amount of recovery actions by the end users.


I would like there to be NO recovery actions by the users.

(I might be OK if the connection went down while they were system
inhibited, but if the session is just sitting there...)

Thanks in advance.

Christopher Wyatt
